Traditional GANTRY is not suitable for future centers of therapy by proton or ion beams by reasons of its enormous size, rotation with precision of significant mass, huge electricity consumption and extremely high cost. Review of various compromise solutions for beam transport to a patient is presented in the report: horizontal beam, rotation of patient around the vertical axis, beams with fixated directions, beams with fixated directions and with additional patient rotation around the horizontal axis (with the use of tomography and with additional adjustment after each rotation) and planar systems in different versions. It was shown that planar systems are the most promising solution at the present moment.
